Same incentive as everywhere. They get paid. ;-)

Even the most automated of robotic factories on earth still have a number of humans in an oversight role, where they make themselves quite useful.

The same would be true of any space industry. People would be hired on for a tour in space, and they'd be paid sufficient salary to make it worth their while.

And when you are up there, you will want to stay up if you can, as each dip into the well costs you a ton of money.
